On the larger point, McAwful got this correct. Do your time and be out and off any probation and parole, and full restoration of rights is warranted. Too dangerous to have a full slate of rights is too dangerous to be out.

However, McAwful did not do a full restoration. 2A restrictions remain. The Rs should fix that.

This is something the Rs could have, and should have, done years ago. They choose not to do so, and forfeit the advantage.

Then again, the OP would have to have the intelligence and cognitive ability to comprehend this, and the evidence is considerable that he lacks it now and will always.

Felons always vote for other felons.

Kingston: So you are saying that rapists, murderers, hard drug sellers, child molesters and their ilk are "qualified" to vote and decide who and how this country is run by, its taxes spent and who gets more and more welfare?
This "issue" has been working pretty well for many many decades and I for one think upstanding citizens (which is not really that hard to be!) should be this nations voters!
Convicted felons (and that's getting harder and harder to become under hussein obama!) should NOT be making decisions for those of us who curtail our urges, emotions and behaviors to remain felony free.
If you like felons so much go move into a prison or invite a batch of ex-cons to live in your home with YOUR family!
mcaullifes actions are not "humanitarian" they are purely political!
Sheesh.
Voting rights aren't the ONLY rights felons loose - and again that has been the law for many, many decades - and again that has been working pretty well.

I've always found it odd that a felony conviction could permanently forfeit one's right to vote.

It's as if felons, who've served out their sentences, cease to be citizens. I'm surprised this issue isn't addressed in Federal Court.

It's certainly worthy of discussion.

F'in amazing, this is aimed at one thing and one thing only, making certain that a 'swing state' stays in play and now favors HRC. Nothing else, or as mentioned above they would have received more than just the right to vote back.

So they're as ball-less as is the national congress....

I doubt that it's truly ball-less. They just don't think and they sure as Hell don't act.

They could have passed legislation? Or not 'completely' have gone into recess?
